I laughed when this came and it was really in a little box with Snoopy on it! The picture shows Snoopy playing it, and I keep telling my daughter, "Come on, even a DOG can play it!" It doesn't come with instructions, (Hello, Youtube!), and can be pretty tricky to get a cool sound from, but for the price, it's a great one to start with. I would love it if Musician's Friend would also carry a higher quality/better sounding model as well, for those willing to make a bigger investment in their future mouth harping career.

First off, they are NOT called "JAW" harps. It is NOT wrong to call it by it's traditional folk name. Sometimes P.C. drives me mad. It has nothing to do with you-know-what. I am a player for 40 years and I am of the you-know-what faith. (gotta get past the robo-scans) It is getting darn hard to find one that plays well or plays at all! Many will not even make the basic sound. This one WILL play the basic sound, but it's not loud nor very good. It's hard to find good J-harps. Many people give up because of harps like this. You gotta use your teeth and the hollow cavity of your mouth. This one will bearly do the basic job.

I bought this item to use in a western themed video game soundtrack. It was easy to learn and record within a week of recieving it. I've used it for music and sound effects and it was great for both. It also is just plain fun to play. I ended up ordering extras for my friends since they keep asking to play my jaw harp.

I got this jaw harp just for the heck of it because I thought it be fun to when I was bored. I play the jaw harp in my metal band for distortion effects it's a great price and easy to play. Only flaw is the instructions aren't that great other than that it very very good.
